the only video game that chicks don't find absolutely repulsive.. used frequently at parties, and our hi-school hosts yearly competitions between classes. also, real guitarists often bash this game. but after all, that's what it is, a game.

dude-2... whatever... your a fag... you should play real guitar...
dude-1... nahh, its cool.. i can play the drums!!!

An awesome multi-platform game that has become a pop-culture phenomenon due to it's ability to make the player feel like they are a talented guitarist without having to waste any time actually leaning how to play a guitar.
Like all things that experience fast widespread success, and cause hot topics of conversation, it has it's detractors. Mainly guitar-players who are angry at the game's ability to make them look bad, and because they didn't know about it first. Like all critics of this type, they take an elitst stance and usually combat any conversation regarding the game with statements like 'Why don't you just play a real guitar'. Or 'It's just a poor man's version of a real guitar', ignorant to the well-noted fact that no girl has been impressed by a guy who can play the guitar skillfully since 1995.
It is this shift in the female gender's attraction from the traditional guitarists to non-instrumental vocalists that has garnered much resentment from the guitarist community. In addition to the fact that being a member of a small band is now less attractive than being a Level 639 at Warcraft.
It is also worth noting that while there are other games that simulate the experience of a sport or activity, such as the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise, Dance Dance Revolution, 'music-making' games, and Sim-whatever; which do not recieve the same hostility from their peer groups. "Why don't you just go and skate/dance/compose/build your OWN theme-park. This is understood to be because of the "Guitars-are-lame paradox", where being skilled at a video game replicating classic guitar songs looks more fun than actually playing them would be.

Tom: Hey, wanna come over later and play some Guitar Hero co-op?
Bob: Dude, why don't you buy Rock Band? It's sooooo much better than Guitar Hero.
Tom: Well, you and Steve are my only friends. I don't see the point.
Steve: Hey, don't include me in your little group. I actually have friends.

when a man inserts the end of a guitar inside a woman for sexual pleasure, for true heroics someone can play the guitar while it is inside the woman although some experts claim that this is impossible.

Get the guitar hero mug.
1. A game that bad guitarists get good at to feel like they have achieved something in the world of guitar, (normally posted on video hosting websites by annoying little kids).
2. A popular past time for real guitarists who feel like trying something different.
